Time . . . a common word, yet what does it really
mean? Look it up in the dictionary? Hmmmm . . . "The
system of those relations which at any event has to any
other as past, present, or future; indefinite continuous dura-
tion regarded as that in which events succeed one another."
Phew! And fifty more definitions fust like it. Can we really
ever defne it? We doubt it. Time escapes us too fast to
pin it down and pigeon-hole it with a pat definition. We
can never say for sure: This is past; this present; this
future. At 10:15, 10:14 is the past, 10:15 the present, and
10:16 the future. At 10:16, the present has become past; and
the future, the preseyit. The past, present, and future move
in never-ending cycles, rushing headlong into each other, di-
verging, and meeting again. The world is wittingly caught up
in their frenzied and ceaseless motion. Only one thing re-
mains constant — the TIT 1 n ; all else is divided, in
the mind of man, into Yesterday, Today, and T omorjow . . . .
edication
The tvork of a tyiily great man remains an everlasting monument of
human vision, energy, and zeal. Although the man may cease his active work,
his thoughts and deeds survive — and leave an indelible stamp upon the
future.
The work of Rabbi Charles Triedman, the Principal of Yeshiva Uni-
versity High School for Girls of Brooklyn — General Studies Department, in
molding young souls — inspiring nobility, instilli>ig hope, inculcating faith,
bloiving the coals into a useful flame, in short: educating creatively by new
thoughts and firm actions, — is without doubt the work of a truly great man.
We, the class of 1965, have experienced the fruits of this man's energy
and influence. And, consequently, we have been immeasurably enriched.
It is therefore that we, the graduating class of 1963, respectfully and
gratefully dedicate our yearbook to RABBI CHARLES FRIEDMAN, as a
small token of our profound gratitude and heartfelt appreciation. May the
Almighty bless him with many, many more years of fruitful and productive
activity.
Rabbi Charles Friedman

"What is past is prologue." — Shakespeare
How many of us, on the night before a history final, under the influence of
black coffee and No-Doz, have ever asked ourselves: "Why must 1 study things
that happened in the past? IFhat bearing do they have on my life today? Why
can't the past remain buried?" When these same questions are considered in a
saner frame of mind , they seem childishly insipid . Who realizes more than a' few
how great is the influence of the past upon our present lives? The miD that
governs our daily lives ivas given to us in the past. Every minute of the day ive
practice a principle taught in the past; when we recite a nD~13 , lue are ac-
cepting n" 'Wn as the Creator of the Universe and all' that is in it; when
we face niTQ to pray, we think of Vk~1^' f~\'ii — our spiritual home-
land; when we give HpT^ or invite friends to our homes, we are practicing
the mo taught us by our n 1 3 K
By looking back, we can also, to some extent, predict the future; and it is
not always pleasant. We have learned of the persecution of our people in the past
and have witnessed it in the present. But ive have also witnessed the downfall of
our oppressors — Babylonia. Persia, Greece, Rome, Turkey, and Germany. This perse-
cution will continue; only by ivithstanding the n 1 J 1 ' D J put to us by
n^apn can we be ivorthy of n'K/cn fl^'^

s-.*.
Once upon a time, more than two thousand years
ago, between Mt. Bedford and Mt. Snyder, there
was a little town called Modi'in (known today as
"Meydlach"). The population of this town num-
bered some five hundred inhabitants. The reason that
this town was so small was due to the very limited
amount of FRESH air. You see, there was plenty
of HOT air, and sometimes a few of the inhabi-
tants themselves were FRESH; but behind that ever-
present smoke-screen — there was simply no FRESH
air! This was so mainly because a mysterious in-
dividual would go around from house to house —
in the dead of night — and shut all the windows.
In fact, it is reliably reported that even the doors
were barricaded! And so, miracle of miracles, de-
spite these handicaps, some five hundred hardy,
rugged individualists — none of whom, though, were
"SINGLE"-minded — somehow managed to survive
in this town.
Among the inhabitants of this town of "Meyd-
lach" was the family of Fuldayohu and his five
sons: Yehudoh HaDardaki, Shimon HaRubeli, Elozor
HaHoffmani, Yonoson HaKamberi, and Yochonon
HaLichtensteini. Wow, what a family! What were
they really like? Well, the less said, the better!
There was much confusion in the land because
of political turmoil then going on. Barry Antiyochus,
the Conservative, was desperately trying to persuade
all the "Meydlach" to come over to his party. In
fact, his slogan was: "It's easier to be a half -Jew
than a Fulda-Jew!" Sadly enough, this made quite
a "hit" with many of the "Meydlach" for "in
their hearts they knew he was right."
Well, one day, Fuldayohu was walking along the
streets of the town, when he encountered a group
of armed "Meydlach" who threatened him with his
life unless he would lend his moral support to the
Conservative, Barry Antiyochus. "Yes," they de-
clared, "if you will only do 712 IWn and
see the light, we promise even to make our party
your party!"
However, Fuldayohu was a thinking man, and
he resisted these pressures by bravely replying: "We
Tareyton smokers would rather fight than switch!"
And that's just what he proceeded to do.
He immediately fled to his warehouse — some call
it an arsenal — in "Meydlach"-town, between Mt.
Bedford and Mt. Snyder, where he assembled his
loyal followers. There, he addressed his audience
with the following immortal words: "The Conserva-
tives are preaching the right! Only we are left —
to preach righteousness!"
Strategically forming his battle commandos, he
placed Yehudoh HaDardaki at the helm, to watch
the ramparts against any further infiltration. Shimon
HaRubeli was given the task of supervising the
feeding of the loyalists — and keeping their quarters
clean. Elozor HaHoffmani was entrusted with the
task of keeping the troops busy with work — and
he succeeded beyond all expectations. Yonoson Ha-
Kamberi, because of his general's air, was crowned
the master of the regiment; and he brooked no
nonsense from anyone. And as the chaplain — to
keep up the morale — the choice was the smiling
Yochonon HaLichtensteini. To be sure, this was an
ill-equipped, understaffed and disorganized army.
But their strategy was to win the enemy by scaring
and frightening the daylights out of him, and, of
course, by denying the populace even a breath of
fresh, clean air!
At any rate, they temporarily fled to the hills
until the erection of the new building. What did
they do in their new secret hideaway.' Well, ac-
cording to reliable reports, they spent their time
playing "dreydel", eating latkes, and smoking!
Every so often, they would embark on guerilla
warfare raids against the "Meydlach," who they felt
had succumbed to the Conservative party charms — by
rapidly becoming half-Jews. Of course, they di-
rected their main fire — no, I mean smoke — against
Barry Antiyochus himself. Indeed, Fuldayohu's battle
cry was: "Give me full Jews or else!" Yochonon
HaLichtensteini, the chaplain, invoked the blessing
of Heaven — not on this earth! Shimon HaRubeli
supervised the communal "benshing" — ^without grace!
Elozor HaHoffmani made each one stand up to
work — but, of course, he himself remained seated!
And Yonoson HaKamberi kept time — with two
clocks! And, of course, Yehudoh HaDardaki sup-
plied all the necessary TO TO . And so, these
righteous raiders won many victories against the
Conservative party "Meydlach!"
0r, Ql^tttral f ^stFrteg
Before I continue with my story, I must inter-
polate one interesting episode. There hved in those
days a most attractive woman, by the name of
Yehuditson. She was very talented in art and heart,
and her pictures had won her fame throughout the
world; indeed, the critics called her pictures "out
of this world."
Now, this talented Yehuditson not only loved
Jewish art, but she also had a Jewish heart! And
so, she wanted very much to help her Jewish peo-
ple. Thus, it came about that whenever she had
a free period she would go into the Assyrian army
camp — for she was very friendly with an important
general there. It is doubtful whether she captivated
him with her art or her heart. In fact, many
believe that it was something else entirely.
One night, the Assyrian general threw a big
party, and naturally Yehuditson invited herself. She
was the life of the party, because she ALWAYS
made everyone laugh ! As usual, she came with
her basket of paintings. Well, after the guests had
all left, Yehuditson remained alone with the drunken
general. Seizing the opportunity, she bravely chopped
off the general's head and wrapped it in oilcloth.
And then, of course, she put it in her basket. She
was awarded the Knobel Peace Prize for her artistic
decapitation. However, she refused the money for
herself, and instead put it in the YJAA Trust
Fund. The initials.' Yes, you guessed it: Yehudit-
son's Jewish Art Appreciation Fund.
And now, back to our story. . . .
The fighting between Fuldayohu "Righteous" and
Antiyochus "Right" continued. And then, a number
of misfortunes betook this illustrious family. Shimon
HaRubeli was killed by a couple of cheats he had
antagonized. Elozor HaHoflmani became paralyzed
from all his sitting. Yonoson HaKamberi's heart
stopped beating when his clocks stopped ticking.
But Yochonon HaLichtensteini, though, kept right
on smiling, trusting in the good L-rd.
However, Yehudoh HaDardaki kept right on
battling heroically together with his father, until
the war was finally won. He managed to capture
all the fortified places — and the souls of the "Meyd-
lach" were saved. However, he wasn't satisfied be-
cause the Wipnn n'3 was still in the
enemy's control. And so, he told his comrades:
"We must now capture the Temple, clean it up,
and light the m "k 3'D to render thanks unto
own that we have been granted victory."
However, his followers could not enter the Temple
grounds because of the foul fumes that filled the
air. But, since Yehudoh HaDardaki had developed
an immunity to this condition in "Meydlach-town,"
he ventured into it. But, alas, although he was
up to his nose in open bottles of oil, he could
not locate even one bottle that was left untouched
by the enemy.
And then, lo and behold, a cry was heard from
the laboratory: "Hey, get a load of this! I think
I've got it!. By George, I've got it — a jug of oil
in the microscope closet which has not been touched
by human hands ! In fact, it's still in the box, and
the seal hasn't been broken!"
Well, you can imagine the joy, when the oil
burned not only for five school days, but also for
the whole weekend. That was truly a miracle.
But, when Fuldayohu saw that the Temple was
completely demolished, he proclaimed: "We need
another miracle — a new Temple. And,rt*T' OK
0^7n — and weather permitting — our new sacred
building will no longer be a miracle, — just a mirage!"
And all the people yelled and cheered, and
there was a riot in the subterranean clucker-room,
and then, rising above the shouts, Fuldayohu an-
nounced loudly: "I now proclaim the first two
periods of tomorrow, Monday, November 30th, as
a sacred time set aside for sleeping off our troubles.
And furthermore, to commemorate this significant
episode of our history, it is hereby decreed that
Friday, December 4th, and Monday, December 7th,
shall be national holidays to celebrate the two most
significant events in Jewish history: nSIJn
and Pearl Harbor!
And so, with this good news, our miraculous
story of TI3 1 3n comes to a happy end!

"The best of times. . . . The worst of times" — Dickens. Today is like a
garden overrun by insects. Kill the insects, and, for a while, all is well. But a few
strong ones u'ill survive and begin to multiply. Stronger insecticides will be found,
but even stronger insects will survive. There were times of great conflict and
contradiction. Never have u'e enjoyed so much freedom from prejudice, but the
opposition to freedom has never been so great. The Jews in Israel . . . the Jews
in Russia. The Civil Rights bill . . . the riots in the South. Atomic energy for
peaceful uses . . . atomic energy for destruction. The life of Kennedy. . . . The
death of Kennedy. We can never hope to destroy all insects; we can only pray
that someday the insects — the bigoted, narrotv-minded, warped, and stupid individuals
of the tuorld — will themselves realize the harm they are doing, and cease of their
own volition.

— It's not that I'm prejudiced, Clara, but you know how they are.
— Yes, Myrtle, I remember when this section was the nicest part of town, and
now it's a veritable garbage can — rubbish strewn everywhere.
— And their morals, the language they use — disgusting! I'm afraid to expose
my children to them.
Yes, did you hear what happened to Hortense's husband; he was shot and nearly
killed by one of them!
— It's always the same. The newspapers are full of it. It's always their kind that are
committing all the crimes. You rarely read about one of us doing anything like that.
— Why it's unsafe to leave our homes at night here. The whole place is simply crawl-
ing with them then.
— I really think there should be some law to keep them out of places where they are
not wanted.
— Yes, and with all their high talk of equality and rights, it's still painfully obvious
that we're definitely superior to them.
Clara, if you're willing, let's get a group of us together to plan some form of action.
Something must be done before we're completely destroyed.
— Okay, I'll see you again tomorrow and we'll discuss it then.
— Good-bye, then.
—Bye!
"Yes, something must be done to keep humans out of parks and gardens," thought
Clara as she flew up to her comfortable nest in a Central Park tree.

Amidst the trivial and commonplace of the city, there stands a great (though
modest) institution, from which emanate the truly great minds of our time: those who
see the truth, those who strive to understand the profound. Indeed, we are blessed
to have in our time the members of the establishment. Tonight we bring to you those
of great acumen, who try to bring to us the world mere mortals cannot see. We present
the Establishment.
Speaker for the House — Mrs. Nausska
I would like to announce our new policies, Unexcused admits will be issued five
days a week except during vacation. Excused admits will be issued only during the
thirteenth period of every fifth Thursday in August. Passes to the lounge will not be
issued except in severe cases such as: appendicitis attacks, comas, or ingrown toenails —
in which case a doctor's note is required prior to admission to the lounge. Incidentally,
the old lounge is now the typing room. The new lounge is located in Rabbi Fulda's
office. Rabbi Fulda's office is now located in the regular office. Though slightly cramped
for space, the office squad is making a brave effort to adjust to their new headquarters
on the back staircase. Thank you, girls !

I'm dreaming of a clean lunchroom
Just like the one we used to know.
Where one can in solitude, take a big bite
And not have a neighborly roach give one fright.
Where one smells dew drops, instead of tuna-stench.
And where one can remain unstained after sitting on a bench.
I'm dreaming of a clean lunchroom
Which I hope will make you able to
Eat your lunch without a frown
And, above all, once you eat it, keep it down.

Dr. Elmer Fudd — Renowned Authority on the Syllabus (Rumor has it he was the
original founder.)
"Young ladies (I may caU you ladies, mayn't I? It is proper, isn't it?) I would
like to explain to you the aged but wonderful teachings of the syllabus. According
to my syllabus (I have it right here with me. I carry it with me all the time, you
know — never caught without it!) you will learn the following, be held responsible
for it, be tested on it, and marked accordingly: Twent)-three Alexandrans — 2c^,
fifty Shakespearian sonnets — Sfc philosophy, let's try this thousand-page essay of
Dante's on the effect of toothpaste on the economy of English authors — that's 10%,
since it is a thousand pages. Afy, we have 76% left to cover! We'll have to triple
up on assignments. But we must stick to the syllabus. However, I'm sure you all
agree that this is fair. It is fair, don't you agree.' . . . Isn't it fair. . . . I'm sure
you all agree, don't you! I've told you this before: I'm not running a popularity
contest.
The Youth of the Establishment Would Like to Suggest the Following Additional
Clubs:
(1) The care and feeding of the Peruvian Turtle club.
(2) Nose-muff knitting group
(3) Creative finger twitching
(4) Pre-Revolutionar)- fingerpainting
(5) Kindergarten fingerpainting
(6) Spanish Ethics
(7) Advanced slinky throwing
(8) Beginners' marble-racing
(9) How to ignore the ever-present candy-machine
(10) Fift)- ways to stretch your allowance
(11) Beginners' homework ignoring
(12) Advanced syllabus appreciation
(13) French nursery rhyme club
"These have been suggested as clubs that everyone, or almost ever}-one, can enjoy,
and that we feel will contribute to the well-roundedness (especially "candy machine
paying attention to" club!) of the members of the Establishment. Howe%'er, they
are merely suggestions.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy
1917-1963
No man's life better illustrated our times than the life of President Kennedy. It
was a continuous struggle against all the evil and destructive forces in the world — disease,
prejudice, hypocrisy, and war. His election to the presidency was an all-too-brief victory
over these forces. But it was a beginning . . .
All this will not he finished in the first hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first
thousand days, nor in the life of this administration . . . hut let us begin. . . .
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
THE BEST
OF TIMES . . .
/ do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any
other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor,
ivill light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the
ivorld.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Manfred Kreiner
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role
of defending freedom in its own hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this
responsibility — / welcome it.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy

THE WORST DF TIMES
Peace and freedom do not come cheap, and we are destined . . . to live out most of our
lives in uncertainty, and challenge and ■peril.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
K_
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time. . . .

"The torch has been passed to a new generation. . . ."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
How many times, in years gone by, have we been lulled to sleep by stirring
orations beginning: "The Youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow" P Now, for
a senior, these rather trite words take on an ominous meaning. "M.e?"^-you say,
cringing slightly — "The leader of tomorroiv? 1 just want to get married and raise a
family." Think for a moment, dear senior. Even if you do not become a doctor,
lawyer, nurse, psychologist, or artist, you will still have a very important task to
fulfill. In raising a family, you will be instilling into your children the values that
will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Even if you are not a leader of
THIS generation, you will be a molder of the leaders of the NEXT generation. So,
senior, whatever you become, don't take your tasks lightly, for YOU are . . . Tomorrow.

And the feel of cool air on my face
I love a quiet night
And songs like Stardust
and yellow dresses
and flowers along the road
I love to walk in the autumn
and kick the leaves
and hear them crunch
I love to see young people
so full of life
and the little hoy with his ice cream cone
and a well-wrinkled hut wise face
filled with understanding.
And pigeons in the park
and the beach in April
When no-one is there.

Tools of learning.
Do I have everything — oh well
Lunch, comb, bus pass, pen . . .
I'm on the bus
I should study but . . .
I'm playing my game now
What' s behind the faces.
People, of course, but what kind.
That little girl
With two fat shiny braids
jabbering away to her friend.
(/ used to have braids
when 1 was five or six)
(I'm not six anymore;
I still jabber.)
Here comes another bleached,

But then . . . she has a right;
When I'm 40, will I hold on to youth?
It figures.
There goes another book on the floor.
This time I'm on the bus going home.
I'm too tired

And here I am. The fnished product.

Something that gives pleasure.
Something that thrills

Does beauty come suddenly

Waiting for an eye to open
a heart to awake,
To see beauty.
Can beauty be a thing

I think there have been times
when 1 have laughed,
with a beautiful thing

So how can beauty be measured
for its strength and actual presence.
Beauty is a petal, a leaf

August
The seagulls flapped their wings that day
and flew overhead.
I stood above the ground on the platform
and watched the trains come and leave.
Coney Island and people and noise
were fust beyond the bend of the tracks.
and the little cars were rocking
071 the ferris wheel.
It was cool as 1 stood there
much cooler than home
and the wind was good on my face.
and it was quiet
with noise in the distance
and I saw a little box
with food to feed the birds
Maybe they're fust pigeons
but it's funny,
somebody cares enough
to see that birds are fed.
Strange birds.
I'm not strange to the people I know

But 1 must be strange
or I would he fed too.

IFhaf's the sense in going to bed early.

I think it makes more sense

To think about graduating

It makes more sense
than kicking your cover on the floor
and bumping your head on the headboarc
It makes more sense
than having an extra hour
to tremble at your nightmares.
I will file my nails
and drink some chocolate milk
and maybe later go to sleep.
And tomorrow
I will buy an eclaire
and the teacher will yell at me
for Dreaming.

Soon it will be warm.
First
I will put my winter jacket away
then I will go to the park.
maybe I will go
early Sunday morning.
I will ride the merry-go-round
and roll around in the grass
and stare at young couples.
Maybe I will buy cracker-fax
like when I was little.
and maybe I will look at
the Zebras in the zoo.
Maybe I will talk to the man
who works on the merry-go-round
Once Goldie and I
Went to the park
on a warm Sunday morning
when we should have been
at our College-Board course.
We talked to the man on
the merry-go-round
he was really fust a boy.
and we talked to him
and he told us
that when he was very young
he was very poor
and never went away
or had any fun
so when he could,
he got a fob
near people and children
and laughter.
He was happy.

Oh, thou Fmal Week
Thou, like the storm
Dost terrify the trembling masses
And like the blackest plague
Dost render silence in the ni^
When till the early morning
Burns a light
A hollow-eyed and weary soul
Doth look a fright.
Oh, thou Final Week
Thy power steals into the minds
And bodies of poor downtrodden
The dying scholars whose eyes
With toothpicks are propped open
Thy clutching grasp
Against which they will fight
Who rise to arms with No-Doz
And coffee black.
Oh. Final Week!
Thy three o'clock in the morning shower;
Thy four hours sleep;
Thy crawling to Final chambers
With pencils sharpened
But with brains quite dulled;
Thy in-between-the-finals
Two hour stretch.
When broken, failing souls
Begin to retch
Thy maddened scramble for a place to learn
Alas! Bach classroom's filled.
The bathroom taken, too;
Alas! Each staircase covered
With those haggard souls
Whose frantic maddened eyes
Devour
The pages of the scrolls of time {slime);
Alas! The locker-room is crowded!
Indeed the lockers themselves
Have squeezed within
Another dying, emaciated scholar.
Alas! Alas!
To thee, Final Week,
I do salute
And when thou dost end
I shall not rant with rage
And passion mad — nor weep.
I'll only sleep.
Sleep . . .

Babysitter's Meditation Upon a Snowflake
Oh, tell me, little girl
At the window-side.
What can you he watching
With eyes open wide?
"Cant you see the fairies
'Lighting from their ride?
Snowflakes are their coaches
Which on winds do glide.
"They are all returning
Prom their Jack Frost Ball,
Where they have been dancing
In an icy hall.
"Can't you hear the music,
The sweet harmonies?"
To me it's fust the wind
Blowing through the trees.
But show me little girl.
Where the fairies he —
/, too, was once like you;
Now I cannot see.
I once saw a rainbow
Sliding down my pane.
But soon grownups told me.
It was fust some rain.
But have you ever watched,
Darling little child.
Waves toss on the ocean
Of a storm sky wild?
Please tell me that you can —
1 now look in vain —
¥or I can only find
Clouds that bring the rain.
For you are but a child
As yet unaged;
Not worn by the years;
By cares not caged.
Oh, lucky little girll
Innocence can see.
Am I then so time-worn.
To be blinder than thee?

Dissertation Upon Becoming A Citizen
by ROSANN GERBER
— "I an) a Pilgrim. I am a Pilgrim and I came to Plymouth, Massachusetts on
the Mayflower in 1620. I was born in 1492. Isn't that a coincidence judge? Did you
know that Columbus came to America that same year? Oh, you did."
— "Nyet, I nevur had enyeeting to do vit the Communists in America, chudge.
Vat meks you ask me dat? Don't let my heccent trow you. Dat's vat hoppens ven
you leeve too lung in Brookleen. Yes, I svare allegiance to premiere L.B.J, and
the U.S.S. of A. I mean U.S.A. I vant to be your comrade."
— "Would you mind repeating that question? Let me see. Who was Tom
Paine? Oh, yes, everybody knows that. He was that famous tall cowboy you see
in all the old western pictures with Marlene Dietrich."
— "That's incorrect, Miss Gerber."
— "Oh, that's right. How silly of me. That's fohn Wayne I was thinking of.
He He He He . . . (oi vey). Please ask me another one, judge, and don't make
it the one about how many stripes there are in our flag. Lines make me dizzy.
Oh, and while you're at it, skip the one about the number of stars, too. I just
don't know a thing about constellations and my math is abominable. You know
how those things are." (I could swear that the judge is mumbling something
under his breath other than the "Star Spangled Banner.")
— "Oh, I was preoccupied, sir. Would you mind repeating the question? You
asked how old a senator and a member of the House have to be? Well, they
have to be 18 to drink in New York and they can obtain drivers' permits at 16.
I don't know about the ages in Washington, but . . . That's not what you were
referring to, sir? Oh, I see." (I wish he'd stop asking such tough ones. He's un-
nerving my tranquility.)
— "One last chance. Miss Gerber, or I'm afraid we'll have to deport you or
withhold your citizenship papers."
— (Here goes nothing)
— "What roles does the judicial department of our government play?"
— "Oh, I know that one, judge. The /ewdicial part of our government "Paskens
Deenim" for the general welfare of the Jews and passes on the constitutionality
of "Halochoth," (Something tells me that the judge didn't appreciate the last one.
I think I'd better appeal to his humanitarianism.)
— "Judge Stinkelfein — Oh, I'm sorry — Judge Finkelstein, I sincerely feel that
these questions don't at all reflect on my attitude towards becoming citizen of the
U.S. I would be more than proud to become an accepted member of this mighty
nation. As flustered as I may appear to you, I know enough to realize the im-
portance of becoming a part of this vast country. Perhaps I do get a trifle (well,
all right, extremely, if you like) nervous, but I would be honored if you would
reconsider and give me one last crack at it." (There! I've said it!)
— ""Very well, I'll give you one last chance. Now think this over carefully be-
fore answering. What happens when the president of the U.S. dies?"
— "That's simple, sir," I beamed. "They bury him!"
150
This entire scene repeatedly appeared to disturb my slumber and torture my
mind the night before I was to become a citizen of the U.S. The fantastically
ludicrous dream had been recurring more often as the final day arrived. Actually,
I think that my dismal premonitions stemmed from a sense of guilt, dating back
to the time when I was approximately eleven or twelve years old. My grandmother,
who, not quite having mastered the use of the English language, asked none other
than her "well-versed" granddaughter (me) to help her study some questions neces-
sary for her application for citizenship. Since I had, at the time, shall we say,
"a sense of humor," I thought it would be very amusing if I were to teach her
to tell the interrogating judge that she was a Pilgrim, having come to the U.S. on
the Mayflower in 1620. Never thinking that not only might her papers be with-
held, but that she might be locked up as deranged, I chuckled in delight as she
solemnly repeated in broken English what I had taught her. (But fear not, I clued
her in towards the end and ruined all the fun, and she finally became a citizen.)
Somehow, I think that all this flooded back to my memory when my turn arose to
be sworn in as a citizen.
Consequently, since it was too late to do anything about my guilt feelings, I
went to take my oath with a heavy heart. To my great consternation, I wasn't
asked a single question like the ones that had appeared in my dreams. A clerk
merely administered some oath of allegiance to me and to my parents, and before
I knew it, I was a citizen. You see, I, unlike my grandmother, had accomplished
this by means of "derivation," which to ordinary laymen (laywomen) means that
the only eflfort exerted on my part was having been born. Moral: If you teach
your grandmother or other members of your immediate family "gobbledygook" which
they don't understand, you may not become a citizen.
Solution: Teach it to strangers!

STATE OF THE UNION MESSAGE
by FRIEDA SCHUBIN, G.O. President
"IN THE NAME OF YESHIVA UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
OF BROOKLYN, I CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER."
A very auspicious beginning for a very typical G.O. meeting. After bringing
ail necessary business to the attention of a very weary G.O. Assembly, the meetmg
closes in an an}1:hing but austere manner. I mumble a hurried — "Does anybody move?"
—and all immediately move to the (one and only) nearest door, murmuring: "I
move, I move."
Being G.O. president has its truly amusing sides. I shall never forget the time
a lady from (to protect the guilty) called me up, innocently inquiring
whether I had written "The Mikado." After all, I had been the producer of the
school production, hadn't I? I patiently informed her that Gilbert and Sullivan were
the operetta's proud authors. No, Mrs. (to protect the innocent), the play
does NOT have a Chanukah theme, I further explained to the poor disillusioned woman.
MY PROUDEST MOMENT: When a junior stopped me on the street to tell
me that this year's G.O. is the wackiest one ever. What do you mean, I queried.
Well, she said, you and 'Vera do the nuttiest things. Like yesterday when . . .
She was referring to March 3rd, Alexander Graham Bell's birthday. Being the
alert and watchful G.O. officers we are, we naturally keep track of the birthdays
of important personages such as Alexander the Great, Madame Pompadour, Romulus
and Remus, Benedict Arnold, Ethelred the Unready, and Alexander Graham Bell.
In honor of Alexander Graham Bell's birthday, and to accord the inventor of that
wonderful instrument— the telephone— the credit due him, we composed a song
"G-d Bless the Telephone", perched ourselves, on the front staircase, and greeted
each incoming Brooklyn Centralite with this tune. After all, one of the duties of
the G.O. is to disseminate pertinent information amongst the student body. And
which Centralite (students and administration alike), I ask you, does not make fre-
quent use of the telephone.'
I was always under the suspicion that freshmen were rather naive, but I was
never quite sure. After all, why not give the underprivileged classes the benefit of
the doubt? But, after you hear the following, you'll see that there isn't much room
left for doubt. A week after I had announced that Centralites would be permitted
to come escorted to the Senior Play, I discovered that the freshmen were under the
impression that they would not be permitted to come unescorted to this major
G.O. function!!!
In order to understand teachers, we were told, we must put ourselves in their
shoes. Upon hearing this, we immediately hastened to the teachers' room, and
upon not finding their shoes, we adorned ourselves, instead, with their coats and
hats, generously leaving our "Central Senior" stickers on their hats.
Yes, being G.O. president has truly been its own reward. Under what other
circumstances could I have become acquainted with the intimate hves of such famous
people as: Borough President Abe Stark— who's planning to create a (Brooklyn)
Central Park? ... or Menahel Rabbi Fulda— whose vitamin-enriched cigarettes
produce "holy smoke'? ... or Guess Who? whose gruff exterior hides a gruff interior?
Funny, but according to one of our teachers— whose class always finds me m a
talkative mood, I ran for the wrong office. Once, exasperated by my constant chatter,
the Doctor exclaimed: "You should have run for Speaker of the House!"
Really, I must terminate my memoirs at this point, for my emotions are getting
the best of me. In fact, I feel all choked uf^Mr. Cantor, where are you?

THE MEETING
The names in this play have been changed to protect the innocent ( ?)
Scene: Sunday afternoon, in the study of a comfortable house in the Boro
Park section of Brooklyn. Several assorted girls are sitting on chairs, the floor, or
the desk. Bov/ls of potato chips, corn chips, pretzels, and other delicacies are being
passed back and forth. Ursula, a chubby girl with freckles, is trying to do a yoga
exercise to the rhythm of a Bob Dylan song. Suddenly, a thought dawns upon her.
Ursula: Hey kids, the meeting was called for 10:00 o'clock and now it's 4:00
o'clock. Don't you think we should get started.' (Please pass the potato chips.)
(Prudence, an intellectual looking blue-eyed girl with high-piled hair, arched
eyebrows, and mink bows and cufflinks, is fluttering her eyelashes in two directions
and eating corn chips.)
Prudence: Yes, (munch, munch) the yearbook is due March 16; don't you
think we should get to work.' After all, it's April 11 today. (Don't you have any
sour cream for these corn chips.')
(Lola, a striking blend of Bohemia and Americana, with swinging honey-colored
hair, is doing the "Isodettes" commercial; when she hears Prudence's words, she
stops.)
Lola: Dunt stop mee now ven I hem dohing my fiynest rrrole. Eeets liyke pooting
eh stake in mine hearrrt.
134
(Faith, a beautiful girl with a radiant smile, is playing with a yo-yo.)
Faith: I think Ursula and Prudence are right. Let's get started. Has anyone
thought of a theme?
(Angelica, a pert, all-American girl, is sitting cross-legged on the floor, playing
"Blowin' in the Wind.")
Angelica: (She strikes an A minor chord and says, meditatively . . .) Why
do we need a theme at all; themes are so trite.
Lola: Yeah, man, like why don't we just announce to the world that we have
no theme? Let's be original. (I'm hungry; please pass the chocolate-covered kosher
marshmallows.)
Faith: (still playing with the yo-yo . . .) 506, 507, 508, 509, 510, 511, 512—
hey, I broke my record! Yes, Angelica, that sounds very good in theory, but how
would you carry it out? . . . 513, 514, "515, 5X6. . . .
Ursula: No, we've got to have a theme. We're getting a new building next
year ( *1 HST OX and weather permitting;) we have a new principal; we have
new teachers; we have to have something about the future, about change, about . . .
(Prudence tries to take the Bob Dylan record off.)
Ursula: No! No! No! You can't do this to me— you must put him back!!!
Prudence: I want to listen to Andy Williams!
Angelica: Andy Williams, how bourgeois— Put on Eric Anderson!
Lola: No, let's listen to the mating call of the Uruguayan aardvark.
Faith: 517, 518, 519, 520 — No, let's listen to the Moonlight Sonata.
(A battle ensues, and Ursula emerges victorious (since it's her record player.)
But to show her magnanimity, she compromises with "Rhapsody in Blue.")
Ursula: O.K., let's get down to business. Did anyone listen to Jean Shepard
last night?
Prudence: Ursula!!!! Come on, someone think of something!
Lola: How about "An Ode to Op Art" ?
Faith: How about "Ring in the Old and Ring out the New"?
Angelica: How about "The Times They are a-Changin' " ?
(Prudence roles her eyes heavenward, counts to a hundred, and begins to recite
(in order not to explode.)
Prudence: Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace
from day to day. . . . And all our yesterdays. . . .
Ursula: That reminds me, did anyone see Marcello Mastroianni in "Yesterday,
Today, and Tomorrow"?
Everyone in unison: Hey! That's it! Eureka!! By George, she's got it!
(And thus, the theme for our yearbook is decided upon. Merriment ensues,
and the editors return to their respective homes, satisfied, after a long hard day's work.)

CENTRAL OF TDMDRRDW
Welcome, friends, to the new building of Yeshiva University High School
for Girls of Israel.
We are now entering the main office. School has just begun. It seems as if
some of the girls are late. Let's listen:
Girl: "But, Mrs. Lantern, my supersonic xkgy-177896% flying saucer just broke
down."
Mrs. Lantern: "That's no excuse, young lady, Jupiter is only 3,000,000,000
miles away from Earth. You could easily have taken the interplanetary bleeperplane."
We are now entering the spacious dining room. It seats 10,000,000, and is
divided in half. There are self-service machines for almost every Kosher delicacy
in the universe. Chopped liver, kreplach, salami, kishka, kosher chicken chow mein,
etc. on the Meat side of the dining room; cheesecake, tunafish salad, buttermilk,
blintzes, knishes, kosher pizza pie, etc. on the Milk side. In the center are the
pareve machines. The plates, silverware, trays, tablecloths, and cups are all disposable.
Let me demonstrate: I'll put 25 P'rutot into this machine, and — OUCH! I
got the dieters' machine.
We are now entering the gymnasium. Since science has made exercise obsolete,
we are fully equipped with the latest ways of doing nothing, bringing an end
to the CANNOT era.
Let's now take this atomic-powered elevator up. We have now arrived at the
laboratory floor. Here is the biology lab, where frogs dissect themselves; the chemistry
lab, where — just last week — two students turned into aardvarks by swallowing a
concocted formula they insisted was HjO; the balabuste lab, where our ingenious
seniors have invented the chicken-koshering machine, which is next to perfect (and
almost as good as Mother Jean's).
Now, let's look at a regular classroom. The wide, cheerfully-painted rooms
are air-conditioned in the summer and automatically heated in the winter. Each stu-
dent is seated at a large walnut desk, in a swivel chair. Notice the spaces between
each desk; this is to encourage individuality and to discourage what was once crudely
known as "cheating." On each desk is a television set whereby the student can see
the robot teacher. (All our staff members are inhuman robots, and therefore always
fair and impartial.) During exams, the student drops her answers into the slot in
the television set. When the robot teacher addresses a student, or a student asks a
question (by means of a microphone on the left side of the television), the screen
immediately shows the student, so that there can be at least some sort of class
participation.
Now, we are on our way to the final destination — the Menahel's office, aflFectionately
nicknamed "The Lion's Den." It is lined from top to bottom with the finest
Sijrey Kodesh in the universe. In the center stands a majestic mahogany desk, whose
drawers pop out SCW and TIW applications at a finger's touch. The Menahel's
staff is quite large, consisting of 5 robot stenographers and 5 robot typists taking
down his innovations, as well as 10 robot workers carrying out his plans. His door
is open at all times to students seeking advice and to students answering for their vices.
I hope that you have enjoyed your visit to Central. Your tourist Xyxkeruyz
plane is waiting to take you all back to your respective planets. L'bhra'ot!
Ode to Nature DDE TD NATURE
by JESSICA LIDSKY
How' beautiful the rishig sun at dawn,
An orange hall of fire against the blue
Of sky. How fragrant is an early morn
In S firing. The soft, warm air embraces you.
Along the path the flow'rs have sweetly bloomed,
Their lazy stems sway with the balmy breeze,
The woods are now so pretty and well groomed,
And chirping birds fly in and out of trees.
These very trees in winter will be bare,
The woods that once were green will then be white,
The singing birds no longer will be there
The sun on silent stillness sets at night,
O Nature, mortals may not know your worth,
Thou art the greatest gift G-d gave to earth.
A TRACE DF THANKS
by RITA STRENGER
The babe knows nought but of his selfish plight.
Obstrusively he enters with a cry.
He grasps for life with fists and eyes clenched tight,
And greedily he sucks his mother dry.
He' s apathetic to the piercing pain,
Indifrent to the tri'ls he's brought about.
He's striving to get all that he can gain,
And feels deserving of the best, no doubt.
There' s solely one who knows the hidden truth,
The one who freely gave of her own be'ng.
The one who suffered through her small child's youth,
And will forever suffer till" death's free'ng.
No recompense is asked for all she bore.
A trace of thanks is all her heart craves for.
138
SPRING
by ZINA LIPNICK
Inspired with the fragrance of a May morn
Came Spring blooming with a flowery wreath
Youthful and cheerful with a smile adorn
Awoke sleeping nature hack on her feet.
The earth fust clad in a. brand-new attire
Is proud of every leaf and fresh flower
Lucky who without any pain could admire
With a cheeiful eye the nature's power.
The air is full of twitter and chatter
The birds on their wings are flying again
Sorrows and cares no more seem to matter
Except the melody's charming refrain.
Ifs Spring, the youth of our life in full bloom
The love and hope, that of a bride and groom.
